New tools for information specialists - creating your own custom search engines! I think it is a great tool. With the explosion of information out there, it is so cool that people can easily create custom search engines to access their favorite websites, blogs, homepages, etc in a search engine format. This is handy. And being able to access this from any computer, from any place in the world that has Internet access is building upon available resources and extending their uses in new ways. We are truly in a mobile world.
I created two search engines for two of my hobbies, interests. Stargate-1 and Web page designs.

This one should take you to my SG-1 Search engine, and the other one goes to my search engine for web design information.

I used the Google tool to create them, since I did not like the Rollyo tool. I do not like the use of ads on my search engine, and the preferences given to commercial sites in the results page. I also thought the Rollyo tool was harder to use, not as intuitive as the Google tool, and besides, I already have a Google account. I did not have to create another account, and have to remember my id and password.
